Everyone has their own favourite fragrance, but judging by the roster of winners and runners-up, there are some perfumes that we all agree left a lasting impression long after the first spritz. Read on to discover which perfumes got your vote in the Glamour Beauty and Wellness Awards 2026, from the most decadent fruity gourmand to the ultimate citrus-based scent.
Best floral fragrance
Chloé L’Eau de Parfum Intense EDP
A beautifully layered fragrance that embodies all facets of the most feminine of florals. With notes of raspberry, ambrox and cashmeran, alongside the star of the show (that’ll be rose), it’s a gorgeous concoction that manages to be rich and sexy and fresh and crisp all at the same time.
Shortlist:
Matiere Premiere French Flower EDP
Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Noir Rose EDP
Best fresh fragrance
Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne
Jo Malone London Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne, 50ml
There are a handful of fragrances out there that have achieved truly iconic status and this classic, which was created in 1991, is most definitely one of them. While the citrusy notes of lime and mandarin hit you first, the addition of herbaceous basil adds a peppery depth to everything, which is only anchored onto skin by the warmth of amberwood.
